Ice is a Copy Ability which allows Kirby to freeze enemies and is primarily obtained by swallowing certain ice-type enemies, such as a Pengy. It primarily allows Kirby to encase foes in a block of ice with his chilly breath, but may also have other uses, depending on the game, such as enabling him to skate over surfaces in its most recent appearance.

The ability is not to be confused with Freeze, a similar ability whose moves have been incorporated into the Ice ability in many of the latter's appearances (in a similar manner in which Burning and Fire are frequently combined).

Game appearances

Kirby's Adventure/Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

File:KA Ice.png
Artwork from Kirby's Adventure.

Ice was available, along with Freeze, as a Copy Ability in Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land making it one of the debut abilities. In that game, Ice consisted solely of using freezing breath to turn enemies into ice cubes, then touching them to kick them across the stage to harm anything in their way.

In Kirby's Adventure, Kirby merely changed his colTemplate:Our to a light blue when obtaining this ability, as Copy Hats had not been introduced at this time.

Kirby's Dream Land 2

In Kirby's Dream Land 2, Ice is once again a simple move which does not change Kirby's appearance. If Kirby is alone, using Ice functions identically to the way it did in Kirby's Adventure, but if partnered up with one of his animal friends, the move can change its pattern depending on which friend is with him. With Rick, the move functions like an ice shield, protecting on all sides. With Coo, Kirby can breathe ice in a 180 degree area beneath him. With Kine, the move is similar in function to Rick's, but it can be used while moving, and it causes him to freeze over if held for too long.

Kirby Super Star/Kirby Super Star Ultra

In Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby can obtain the ice ability from enemies, or through Enemy Symbols or Copy Essences Deluxe. With the Ice ability equipped, Kirby may create Chilly as a helper. Kirby's visual appearance changes by turning him a light blue colTemplate:Our and he wears a hat full of crystals.

Kirby's Dream Land 3

In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Ice is once again a simple move which does not change Kirby's appearance beyond a colTemplate:Our change when he is using it. If Kirby is alone, using Ice functions identically to the way it did in Kirby's Adventure, but if partnered up with one of his animal friends, the move can change its pattern depending on which friend is with him.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

Ice appears in this game, much the same way it did in Kirby's Dream Land 3, in that Kirby does not actually change appearance or colTemplate:Our unless he is using the ability. Unlike in previous installments however, Kirby spins in place while using the move, making it similar to Freeze. In addition, he can also move slowly while using it, adding to its versatility.

Using the Power Combo system, Kirby can combine Ice with other abilities to varying effect. Combining Ice with Ice creates Ice-Ice, which rolls Kirby up into a big snowball in the same vain as would be seen later in the Snow Bowl Super Ability.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror

Ice appears in this title, this time without its Freeze counterpart. It is relatively unchanged from its appearance in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, and can be obtained from Pengy and Mr. Flosty.

Kirby: Squeak Squad

Ice appears again in this title, following its appearance in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. An Ability Scroll can be obtained which allows Kirby to angle his cone of frost while breathing it. He can also use a bubbled ice essence to infuse the Bomb or Sword abilities with ice powers if he has the scrolls for those abilities as well.

Exclusively in this title, Kirby gains the ability to freeze the surface of water using his ice breath.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land

The Ice ability also appears in [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Template:KRDL KAW]], and is obtained through swallowing ice related enemies or touching Copy Essences. In addition to using the Ice ability to defeat enemies, Kirby may also use Ice to neutraliTemplate:Se fiery blocks in order to break or walk on them. Aesthetically, Kirby's appearance changes only with an addition of a ice crown. In addition, a super form of this ability exists by defeating a Super Chilly, yielding the Snow Bowl ability.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe & Kirby: Planet Robobot

Ice returns as an ability in these games. Additionally, it is compatible with the Robobot Armor, forming the potent Ice Mode.

Kirby Battle Royale

Ice-skating is pretty cool, isn't it?! I just love those spinny jumps! It's fun seeing frozen foes slide to their doom when you throw them!
— Knuckle Joe's comment in Kirby Battle Royale

Ice is one of the abilities available in Kirby Battle Royale, being the last one unlocked in Dedede's Cake Royale. It is distinguished in that repeated hits to foes will freeze them solid. When picking up and tossing a frozen foe, they will slide, and take additional damage when they hit a wall or other opponent. The Ice Wall ability also allows Kirby to create a barrier which lasts a few seconds.
